itunes wont open

I have been trying to open iTunes for the last couple of days without success. Just nothing, also when I plug my iphone in to synch

it won't open iTunes.


Have tried a number of things but not sure exactly what I need to do, even did system restore, but it still won't open 😟

I had the same half of the problem before


When i was trying to open my ipad on itunens , it wasnt opening or even showing its name , so i realized tgen that before that i was another laptop to open my ipad on , and that one had different itunes version , so i uploaded the new one on my laptop and the poblem of itunes to open my ipad was solved . I hope this helps you on that part ( if this is what you were meaning )

I have had the same problem for months, it ended up being my quicktime,
I made a new user account for my computer & opened itunes and it told me quicktime didn't load successfully so i opened and updated quicktime and then itunes would open, then i went into my normal user account and repeated the process and now it opens 🙂
Hope that helps...
